317 Arrangements (3/4
A lot of oil and water were squeezed out from Skype.
When I bought it, I only spent more than 20 million US dollars. Later, I invested some more money one after another, about 50 million US dollars. Including other messy expenses, the total investment was only about 100 million US dollars.
The current valuation is as high as about 2 billion US dollars, and it is a bit difficult to make money by charging fees, because free video calls, voice chat technology, etc. will soon appear, which will inevitably occupy a large amount of market, and even profits are limited.
Ye Dongqing remembers that after it was bought by Microsoft in his previous life, its market value was still only 70 to 80 billion US dollars. That was already after 2017. He couldn't remember the specific date and forgot to see it from which report.
Controlling Facebook, Skype's traffic has become insufficient to watch.
Now that new potential enemies appear, it is irrational to continue to stalemate with those influential communication giants. It is better to get some blood back and make the book data more beautiful. In addition, it can also expand the capital flow to better resist risks.
So long has passed, which is enough to put Mr. McCord in his right position. When he first took office, he thought he could display his talents, but later he realized that he was actually more like a big housekeeper. He just needs to implement it according to Ye Dongqing's idea. Ye Dongqing can handle the development direction and expansion strategy.
Seeing that the boss turned his attention to him, Mr. McCorder nodded decisively: "I will release the news of the sale of shares soon. Google seems to be very interested, but their offer is only 1.6 billion US dollars. I originally planned to suppress it. If you insist, I will agree to sell it to Google."
"What should you do or what should you do? I just want to ask you to tell the executives of those communication giants that it is best to achieve win-win results and lead them to invest in the shares.
It is hard to say whether Google is sincere. It is about to go public, right? Maybe it is sending out fake news to induce investors to continue to look up its stock price. There are many excellent guys on Google's board of directors, such as Campbell. Although I kicked him out of the Apple shareholders' meeting, I have to admit that that guy has a pretty good vision."
In his own company, Ye Dongqing is always strong and is too young. If he is not respected, he will not be able to suppress his employees.
Rick, the chief operating officer of Tamsui Investment Group, was poached with a high salary and served as the head of a hedge fund under Goldman Sachs. He reminded Ye Dongqing at this moment:
"Leo, your foundation is too weak and it is easy to be targeted. I admit that our company is very powerful, but it still has shortcomings and the money is earned by our company. Other companies on Wall Street will definitely be dissatisfied with this. Maybe you should send some news and tell them about when they will go public and when to receive financing. In order to establish a good relationship with you and get financing opportunities from you, I believe that those people will not be willing to be hated by you. No one here will be in trouble with the interests, and the enemy can become friends."
This is when Ye Dongqing lacks social experience and tries to tell him some tips for handling relationships well when doing business.
I was stimulated by the news that I have been almost calm in the past ten hours and waved my hand with a smile on my face and said, "Don't worry, our financial situation is currently fine. I've made a lot of money from the oil futures market. I can make a lot of money by selling Skype stocks next. If it really doesn't work, I will think of other ways to make money, and maybe I can also mortgage the loan first. The real debt ratio is not very high.
It’s getting late, so let’s go back first. I just want you to pay attention to it next. It has caused a lot of trouble. The company can’t make trouble again. I have a premonition that they won’t let it go easily. Take one step at a time and be prepared for precautions. As long as investors are not incited, there will be no problems here."
That's true. If his strength was average in the middle of last year, until now, Tamsui Investment Group has grown up and cannot be destroyed by a little storm. If it really doesn't work, even if it gives up something, Ye Dongqing will have the confidence to kill all his opponents.
If there are another five years or eight years of business development, he will be confident that others will not be able to afford to go against him. He will still lack some time to develop.
...
After the brief meeting, a group of people came into his office.
They are all from Ye Dongqing's private secretary group, more than half of them come from prestigious universities such as Yale and Harvard. At least they have master's degrees and several doctoral students. They also act as think tanks while handling work, and occasionally they can help check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps.
After explaining my concerns and concerns, I discussed the topic of potential risks for more than half an hour. I quickly logged into my Facebook account and posted a reply about the recent situation, which read: "It was probably because I was afraid of being poor before, but now I am excited to see a big house. I am happy to engage in charity, but now it is difficult to pay full attention to charity. After all, there are still a lot of debt problems waiting to be resolved. I am sorry to have caused such extensive discussions, but I think that a person who works hard to make money, strives for his career, and then lives the life he has always dreamed of. This is not illegal or any law. Most people are doing the same thing as me, right?"
The theme was drawn up by public relations, and the specific expression was that Ye Dongqing thought of it himself. After clicking on the release, she sat in the office to look at the recent stock market data and crude oil futures prices. Then she turned off the computer and locked the door and left. The security measures were activated at the moment of closing the door. Even if a mouse ran in, it could be detected.
Most Facebook users are young people, and those who are outside of forty years old account for less than one percent, which means they are more open-minded, especially young people in their teens and 20s. Many of them regard Ye Dongqing as their idol, and they are envious, but they are not so humble that they hope that the rich will help them.
After Ye Dongqing posted a message to express his opinion, a stone caused a thousand waves, and a lot of messages quickly appeared below, and there were also many people who followed him to catch the popularity.
It is not expected that it is good things. You have some understanding of the darkness of people's hearts. You cannot expect that everyone has a good family and a good educational background, or constantly improve yourself from books and life. You can't bite people again.
When I went upstairs and poured myself a glass of wine, I suddenly felt that the apartment on the Puchuan Building was too empty. I thought about it and told the bodyguards that they would prepare to take me to the island by helicopter.
It takes time difference and is not in the mood to work. After more than half an hour, he left the Changdao area in a helicopter and looked down at the bright night view from mid-air. Ye Dongqing knew that the Cobra Building might not be built in the short term, otherwise investors would most likely be disgusted and resisted...
